We are seeking inspirational leaders who can use their energy and experience to drive the delivery of sustainable services that meet the standards expected by the patients of The Royal Wolverhampton NHS Trust.

The Trust is committed to building on its reputation locally as the provider of choice, by progressing its application to become a stand-alone Foundation Trust. To achieve this it needs to demonstrate its financial sustainability as well as the long term viability of services. The new Chair will provide challenge and scrutiny in the on-going development of the strategic direction for the Trust, creating vision to secure improved healthcare services for patients.

The new Chair will be operating in a highly political environment, where difficult decisions about services will need to be taken to ensure patient safety. They will be crucial in engaging with and addressing the concerns of patients, staff and the public within the catchment that the Trust serves, in addition to local community and health economy stakeholders and local opinion formers to ensure the Trust effectively communicates its ambition for improved healthcare services for patients, both now and in the future.

This is an incredibly important role, providing a unique opportunity to make a positive difference for patients. The new Chair will have an important external focus, providing the challenge and leadership needed to oversee the transfer of staff and services from The Mid Staffordshire NHS Foundation Trust and improvements in services, whilst ensuring the on-going ambitions for Foundation Trust status.
